Coated food product and process for the preparation thereof

摘要

A process for the manufacture of a particulate-coated food product comprises; (a) enrobing a frozen food core with an adhesion agent, which has a temperature of from 0 to 20 DEG C, a viscosity of from 0.1 to 6 Pas at 20 DEG C, a setting temperature of from 40 DEG C and 90 DEG C and a water binding capacity of from 0.3 to 5 g water per gram dry matter; (b) coating the enrobed food core with a particulate coating; and (c) freezing the food product; wherein the particulate coating is prepared by drying a food material such as dough under reduced pressure using microwave energy.
